Ever wonder what the doctor is looking for when she shines the light into your eyes, up close and personal?
This is what she sees if the patient has severe hypertension. The retina shows blurring of the optic disc (in the middle left) and the white areas are called "cotton wool spots". The blurry part at the bottom is a partial retinal detachment. The patient's blood pressure was 220/150.

Besides getting the BP down and under control for this so the patient won't become blind does it require surgery like full retinal detachment?
KM: This is a medical emergency and the patient could easily go blind without instant intravenous treatment with hypertensive medication. He would probably require surgery for the retinal detachment.
Thanks for sharing such useful information here as I did not know about such kind of problem. I like this site and will visit this site in future.
I was reading other articles about malignant hypertension. Because hypertension can also affect your sexual health and this not only happen to older people as I used to believed, young people can also be affected by this condition. Thanks for sharing.
What an impacting image because it seems like a cancer cell instead of an eye, and it's more interesting we can know a person through their eyes.
